Father Came Too! (1963)
A very loose sequel to the previous years The Fast Lady which pretty much keeps the same cast, although playing different characters which are remarkably similar to the previous film. However this loses Julie Christie and adds Sally Smith and the brilliant Ronnie Barker as an incompetent builder in charge of doing up the recently bought ramshackle country cottage of newly weds Stanley Baxter and Sally Smith.
James Robertson Justice plays Smith's overbearing interfering father whilst Leslie Phillips plays aspiring actor and occasional estate agent Roddy who ends up saving the day in the end.
As before this starts off gently enough but ends up a totally madcap descent into anarchy during the final third.
If you enjoyed The Fast Lady then you'll enjoy this too, and vice-versa.
